Little Things...

It's been a busy week.  McGyver is in Colorado working on the house... he took his mom along so she could see the progress made.

I've been here with the 4 kiddos, anxiously awaiting Hunk#1's arrival home this coming Friday evening!

I've been working in my sewing 'area', trying to organize it. 

I've been staying up late at night, reading.  Living on the edge, I am!

I wasn't too happy at 5:30 am when Mr. Grilled (aka rooster who's supposed to be a chicken) found his voice. I jumped out of bed & hosed him down.  Thats usually all it takes, and he's quiet the rest of the day. Not today. He kept going & going.  I woke up Hunk #4 at 6:15 and we took said rooster to the animal shelter.  They will farm him out. I am sad, as I really enjoy him otherwise!

Here's a few items I've been working on lately...  Hope you enjoy!

The top items (yoyo's & pockets) are magnets. Those are for the Farmer's Mkt. booth, as well as the sun glass case. Those are fun & easy to put together.

Have a super blessed day!



New Etsy Store...

I am opening up a second Etsy store called P31Gal.

This store will sell wool and felted wool items.

10% of all proceeds go to help support Wycliffe Missionaries, Doug & Bernie Campbell.  They are friends of ours from the EAA Airshow.

I don't have anything listed on there right now, but will soon.  I am also going to be selling items at a local Farmer's Market, Fresh52!  They have a few locations around town... the closest being on S. Eastern between Serene & Silverado Ranch, on the E. side of the road. I know they are there on Sundays from 8:30am - 1pm.  I am not sure of the location on Saturdays.

A lady from our old church has a booth & loves my creations! Imagine that ;-) .  Her booth is Easy To Bee Green and she sells recycled, 'upcycled' items.  I am excited at the prospect of making a little extra cash, but more so that others like my creations!

Hope to see you on Etsy and the Farmer's Market!

Amazed...

For a long time, I entered pix into the Pioneer Woman's photo contests. I finally gave up, because it seemed one needed to be a professional photographer and have an amazing blog to be chosen to be posted on her site as some of her favs.  I  was reading her blog before Father's Day, and noticed she was having a contest. So... I entered the picture of my hubby and kids, taken last year, where they are all kissing him.  That was the last I thought about it.  Last night, I was messing around on the 'net, and decided to look at MCP action photos for the week.  I looked briefly, then looked at my account. I noticed my photo of McGyver and kids had a lot of hits (over 600) and a few comments. One of the comments mentioned she had seen this on PDub's site. I'll tell you - it took me a minute to process that!  Then I checked and lo & behold, there it was! Not the finalist, but one of the ones featured.  ;-)
